Definitions
- This invention relates generally to methods and systems for integrating computer systems, and more particularly, to methods and systems for simplifying integration of a duplicate check computer system with an existing computer system.
- Public entitlement programs have been known to be managed by computer systems. Such entitlement programs include, but are not limited to, pension programs, welfare programs, and taxpayer registration programs. Duplicate program enrollments may be caused by various types of administrative errors made during enrollment or by identity fraud. Generally, identity fraud occurs when an entitlement program participant enrolls more than once in the same entitlement program using false identifications in order to receive benefits from multiple enrollments.
- Existing entitlement program computer systems are known to include detection means for identifying duplicate enrollments that are based on identifying features such as, but not limited to, name checks. However, these detection means are notoriously ineffective because they are easily circumvented by program participants perpetuating fraud on the entitlement program.
- a method for integrating duplicate checks with an existing computer system includes assigning each of a plurality of participants a participant unique identifier, collecting demographic data from each of the plurality of participants, associating each of the plurality of participant unique identifiers with demographic data collected from a respective one of the plurality of participants, and storing each of the plurality of participant unique identifiers and associated demographic data in the existing program computer system as enrollment data records.
- the method also includes capturing participant biometric data from each of the plurality of participants.
- the method includes enrolling each of the plurality of participants in a biometric duplicate check computer system by obtaining each of the plurality of participant unique identifiers from the existing computer system, inputting each of the plurality of participant unique identifiers into the biometric duplicate check computer system, associating each of the plurality of participant unique identifiers with participant biometric data captured from a corresponding one of the plurality of participants, and storing each of the plurality of participant unique identifiers and associated participant biometric data as a biometric enrollment data record in the biometric duplicate check computer system.
- the method also includes checking for potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records stored in the biometric duplicate check computer system by comparing one of the biometric enrollment data records against the biometric enrollment data records stored in the biometric duplicate check computer system, after enrolling each of the participants in the biometric duplicate check computer system.
- Potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records are determined to exist when the participant biometric data included in a plurality of biometric enrollment data records, stored in the biometric duplicate check computer system, matches the participant biometric data included in the one biometric enrollment data record.
- the method then communicates potentially duplicate participant unique identifiers associated with the potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records from the biometric duplicate check computer system to the existing program computer system, associates each of the potentially duplicate unique identifiers with a corresponding enrollment data record, and identifies each of the corresponding enrollment data records as a potentially duplicate enrollment data record.
- the method determines whether any of the potentially duplicate enrollment data records is a true duplicate enrollment data record using existing processes included in the existing computer system.
- the method then includes determining one of the true duplicate enrollment data records to retain, updating information in the retained true duplicate enrollment data record, and deleting true duplicate enrollment data records that are not to be retained, using the existing processes included in the existing computer system, when a plurality of the potentially duplicate enrollment data records are true duplicate enrollment data records.
- a system for integrating biometric duplicate checks in an entitlement program includes an existing computer system configured to store enrollment data records of a plurality of participants in the entitlement program. Each enrollment data record includes a unique identifier and associated demographic data corresponding to an entitlement program participant.
- the system also includes a biometric duplicate check computer system configured to obtain the unique identifier of each entitlement program participant from the existing computer system, input the unique identifier of each entitlement program participant in the biometric duplicate check computer system, capture participant biometric data from each entitlement program participant, associate the unique identifier of each entitlement program participant with captured participant biometric data of the corresponding entitlement program participant, and store the unique identifiers and associated participant biometric data therein as biometric enrollment data records.
- the biometric duplicate check computer system is also configured to compare one of the biometric enrollment data records against the biometric enrollment data records stored in the biometric duplicate check computer system to check for potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records. Moreover, the biometric duplicate check computer system determines that potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records exist when the participant biometric data included in a plurality of biometric enrollment data records, stored in the biometric duplicate check computer system, matches the participant biometric data included in the one biometric enrollment data record. The biometric duplicate check computer system also positions potentially duplicate unique identifiers associated with potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records in a duplicate check results queue.
- the existing program computer system is configured to automatically obtain the potentially duplicate unique identifiers from the duplicate check results queue, associate each of the potentially duplicate unique identifiers with a corresponding enrollment data record, and identify each of the corresponding enrollment data records as a potentially duplicate enrollment data record. Moreover, the existing program computer system is configured to determine whether each of the potentially duplicate enrollment data records is a true duplicate enrollment data record, to determine one of the true duplicate enrollment data records to retain, to update information in the retained true duplicate enrollment data record, and to delete true duplicate enrollment data records that are not to be retained, using existing processes included in the existing program computer system when a plurality of the potentially duplicate enrollment data records are true enrollment data records.
- a method of synchronizing biometric enrollment data records stored in a biometric duplicate check computer system with enrollment data records stored in an existing computer system includes inputting a participant unique identifier associated with a participant enrolling in the biometric duplicate check computer system, capturing participant identity data from the enrolling participant, associating the participant unique identifier with the participant identity data, and storing the participant unique identifier and participant identity data in the duplicate check computer system as one of a plurality of identity enrollment data records.
- the method includes comparing the one identity enrollment data record against identity enrollment data records stored in the duplicate check computer system, to check for potentially duplicate identity enrollment data records, after storing the participant unique identifier and participant identity data in the duplicate check computer system.
- the method also includes determining that potentially duplicate identity enrollment data records exist when the participant identity data included in a plurality of identity enrollment data records, stored in the duplicate check computer system, matches the participant identity data included in the one identity enrollment data record. After determining that potentially duplicate identity enrollment data records exist, the method includes positioning potentially duplicate unique identifiers associated with potentially duplicate identity enrollment data records in a duplicate check results queue.
- the method includes obtaining, automatically, the potentially duplicate unique identifiers from the duplicate check results queue with the existing program computer system, associating each of the potentially duplicate unique identifiers with a corresponding enrollment data record with the existing program computer system, and identifying each of the corresponding enrollment data records as a potentially duplicate enrollment data record.
- the method includes determining whether any of the potentially duplicate enrollment data records is a true duplicate enrollment data record.
- the method includes determining one of the true duplicate enrollment data records to retain, updating information in the retained true duplicate enrollment data record, and deleting true duplicate enrollment data records that are not to be retained, using existing processes included in the existing program computer system when a plurality of the potentially duplicate enrollment data records are true duplicate enrollment data records.
- the method then includes transmitting a delete command, including the unique identifiers of the deleted true duplicate enrollment data records, to the duplicate check computer system, and deleting identity enrollment data records stored in the duplicate check computer system that are associated with the unique identifiers of the deleted true duplicate enrollment data records.

- BDCC Biometric Duplicate Check Computer
- the EPC system 12 may be any computer system involved with enrolling participants in programs that would benefit from improved detection of potentially duplicate participant enrollments. Such programs include programs administered by national governments such as, but not limited to, pension programs, welfare programs and taxpayer registration programs. Moreover, the EPC system 12 may be used to manage and administer a plurality of such programs.
- the BDCC system 14 is a computer system that is configured to facilitate reliably detecting true duplicate enrollment data records stored in the EPC system 12 .
- the BDCC system 14 uses biometrics as the basis for detecting and reliably determining potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records in the BDCC system 14 .
- the BDCC system 14 may use anything as the basis for detection that facilitates reliably determining potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records as described herein.
- biometric duplicate checking may be added to the EPC system 12 such that the EPC system 12 is able to effectively detect potentially duplicate enrollment data records stored therein without being modified, via a simple and quickly implemented system integration.
- a method of simply and quickly integrating the EPC system 12 with the BDCC system 14 as described herein requires less time than that required for known integration techniques of known identity detection systems. Consequently, business benefits resulting from better detection of potentially duplicate enrollment data records begin much sooner than with known integration techniques of known identity detection systems.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart 18 illustrating an exemplary method for simply and quickly integrating the EPC system 12 with the BDCC system 14 via the system interface 16 .
- the system interface 16 is implemented manually and does not constitute a communications medium that is used for transmitting messages between the EPC system 12 and the BDCC system 14 .
- the method starts 20 by enrolling 22 program participants into at least one program managed by the EPC system 12 .
- enrolling 22 program participants starts by assigning a unique identifier that is a unique series of alphanumeric characters to each program participant and storing the assigned unique identifiers in the EPC system 12 .
- the unique identifier may be any type of identifier that facilitates uniquely identifying program participants as described herein, such as a unique identity number.
- Enrolling 22 program participants also includes collecting demographic data of each enrolling program participant and storing the collected demographic data in the EPC system 12 , such that the collected demographic data of each enrolling program participant is associated with the unique identifier assigned to the respective enrolling program participant.
- Demographic data as used herein includes, but is not limited to, biographic data of the enrolling program participant and other data required by the at least one program managed by the EPC system 12 .
- demographic data may include, but is not limited to, participant name, age, date of birth, address, citizenship and marital status.
- enrollment data of each program participant constitutes both the unique identifier and the collected demographic data of the program participant.
- program participants are enrolled in the at least one program managed by the EPC system 12 .
- the EPC system 12 as described herein at least initially enrolls program participants in programs and stores and maintains the enrollment data records. It should be appreciated that the EPC system 12 is also configured to use the unique identifiers as primary keys for respective enrollment data records.
- Duplicate enrollment data records may be created by accidental administrative errors, such as but not limited to typographical errors, made while enrolling 22 program participants, or by individuals deliberately attempting to perpetuate identity fraud upon the at least one program managed by the EPC system 12 . Consequently, the EPC system 12 includes existing business processes, services and tools for at least detecting potentially duplicate enrollment data records, determining whether or not such potentially duplicate enrollment data records are true duplicate enrollment data records, resolving which one of the true duplicate enrollment data records to retain in the EPC system 12 , and resolving which ones of the true duplicate enrollment data records to delete from the EPC system 12 .
- Such existing business processes, services and tools may be implemented in any manner that facilitates at least detecting, determining and resolving potentially duplicate enrollment data records, such as, but not limited to, manually and automatically. It should be appreciated that the existing business processes, services and tools enable the EPC system 12 to at least determine true duplicate enrollment data records, delete enrollment data records, merge enrollment data records, add enrollment data records, and update enrollment data records. Moreover, it should be appreciated that the existing business processes, services and tools may be implemented internally by the EPC system 12 , or by an external system operatively coupled to the EPC system 12 .
- the EPC system 12 Upon detecting potentially duplicate enrollment data records, the EPC system 12 uses an appropriate one of the existing business processes, services or tools to determine which of the potentially duplicate enrollment data records are true duplicate enrollment data records, to determine which of the true duplicate enrollment data records to retain, to update information in the true duplicate enrollment data record to be retained, and to delete true duplicate enrollment data records not being retained.
- Existing systems such as the EPC system 12 may generally use known methods such as, but not limited to, name checking to detect potentially duplicate enrollment data records. However, because name checking and such other known methods are ineffective in detecting potentially duplicate enrollment data records stored in the EPC system 12 , the EPC system 12 is effectively unable to detect potentially duplicate enrollment data records stored therein and thus is effectively unable to facilitate preventing related identity fraud.
- enrolling program participants After enrolling 22 in the EPC system 12 , enrolling program participants also enroll 24 in the BDCC system 14 .
- Enrolling 24 in the BDCC system 14 begins by determining at least one biometric feature desired to be used as the basis for determining potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records in the BDCC system 14 .
- Each enrolling program participant reports to one of a plurality of enrollment stations such that biometric data corresponding to the at least one desired feature may be captured from each of the enrolling program participants by a biometric capture device.
- the BDCC system 14 is configured such that enrollment screens appropriate for collecting the biometric enrollment data are included in enrollment workstations.
- a fingerprint is used as the at least one biometric feature.
- a fingerprint is described as the at least one desired biometric feature in the exemplary embodiment, it should be appreciated that in other embodiments any biometric feature, or any combination of the same or different biometric features, may be used that facilitates enabling the BDCC system 14 to detect potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records stored in the BDCC system 14 .
- the unique identifier of each enrolling program participant is obtained from the EPC system 12 and is input into the BDCC system 14 at one of the enrollment workstations.
- the captured biometric data and the corresponding unique identifier of each enrolling program participant are both stored in the BDCC system 14 , such that the captured biometric data and the corresponding unique identifier of each enrolling program participant are associated with each other.
- the captured biometric data and the corresponding unique identifier of each enrolling program participant are stored in the BDCC system 14 as a new biometric enrollment data record.
- a plurality of biometric enrollment data records, that each correspond to a program participant are stored in the BDCC system 14 .
- each of the plurality of biometric enrollment data records stored in the BDCC system 14 includes the captured biometric data associated with the unique identifier of a corresponding program participant, and may include demographic data of the corresponding program participant.
- demographic data of the enrolling program participant is manually input into a keyboard at the enrollment workstation.
- the demographic data of the enrolling program participant is stored in the BDCC system 14 such that the demographic data of the enrolling program participant is associated with the unique identifier of the enrolling program participant in the BDCC system 14 , and is also included in the new biometric enrollment data record.
- each biometric enrollment data record stored in the BDCC system 14 is logically linked to a corresponding enrollment data record stored in the EPC system 12 by the unique identifiers of respective enrolling program participants.
- enrolling program participants initially enroll 22 in the EPC system 12 , then enroll 24 in the BDCC system 14 by creating a new biometric enrollment data record at the enrollment station, such that both the enrollment data record in the EPC system 12 and the new biometric enrollment data record in the BDCC system 14 are effectively created simultaneously.
- program participants are not required to enroll in the BDCC system 14 such that the enrollment data record in the EPC system 12 and the new biometric enrollment data record in the BDCC system 14 are effectively created simultaneously.
- any period of time may elapse between enrolling in the EPC system 12 and the BDCC system 14 , such that the system interface 16 between the EPC system 12 and the BDCC system 14 may be easily and quickly implemented as described herein.
- program participants are required to enroll in the EPC system 12 before enrolling in the BDCC system 14 such that the BDCC system 14 is able to successfully obtain unique identifiers of enrolling program participants from the EPC system 12 .
- the BDCC system 14 is also configured to use each unique identifier as a primary key for each respective new biometric enrollment data record. Consequently, because the EPC system 12 and the BDCC system 14 both use the same unique identifiers as primary keys for their respective data records, the unique identifiers constitute the system interface 16 between the enrollment data records stored in the EPC system 12 and corresponding biometric enrollment data records stored in the BDCC system 14 . That is, each unique identifier functions to logically link an enrollment data record of a respective program participant stored in the EPC system 12 with a biometric enrollment data record of the same respective program participant stored in the BDCC system 14 . It should be appreciated that the system interface 16 is considered to be manually implemented in the exemplary embodiment because the unique identifiers are manually input into the keyboard at the enrollment workstation and at the EPC system 12 .
- the BDCC system 14 After a participant is enrolled in both the EPC system 12 and the BDCC system 14 , the BDCC system 14 automatically checks 26 to determine whether or not potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records exist therein. Specifically, in order to properly check 26 for potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records, the BDCC system 14 compares a new biometric enrollment data record against all biometric enrollment data records stored in the BDCC system 14 , including the new biometric enrollment data record. A biometric enrollment data record is identified as a potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data record when biometric data included in the biometric enrollment data record matches the biometric data included in the new biometric enrollment data record.
- the comparison identifies a plurality of potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records
- one of the identified plurality of potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records is necessarily the new biometric enrollment data record
- the other identified potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records are not the new biometric enrollment data record. Consequently, by virtue of identifying a plurality of potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records, potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records are determined to exist in the BDCC system 14 .
- the comparison identifies a single potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data record
- the single potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data record is necessarily the new biometric enrollment data record.
- it is determined that potentially duplicate enrollment data records do not exist in the BDCC system 14 .
- the BDCC system 14 prints a hardcopy report 28 including a message that reads “no duplicates detected” and processing continues by determining whether another program participant is to enroll 30 in the BDCC system 14 .
- the message reads “no duplicates detected” in the exemplary embodiment, it should be appreciated that in other embodiments any message indicating that potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records have not been detected may be printed in the hardcopy report 28 .
- the BDCC system 14 communicates results of the potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data record check 26 to the EPC system 12 . Specifically, the BDCC system 14 prints 32 the unique identifiers associated with respective ones of the plurality of potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records in a hardcopy report, as the results of the potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data record check 26 . In the exemplary embodiment a message is also printed in the hardcopy report that reads “potential duplicates detected.” It should be appreciated that in other embodiments any message indicating that potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records have been detected may be printed in the hardcopy report.
- biometric enrollment data records stored in the BDCC system 14 correspond to potentially duplicate enrollment data records in the EPC system 12 .
- the business processes, services and tools existing in the EPC system 12 are configured to resolve enrollment data records stored in the EPC system 12 identified as potentially duplicate enrollment data records.
- BDCC system personnel provide the printed hardcopy report to an operator of the EPC system 12 .
- the operator of the EPC system 12 manually inputs the unique identifiers listed in the hardcopy report into the EPC system 12 such that the EPC system 12 associates each of the unique identifiers listed in the hardcopy report with a corresponding enrollment data record stored therein.
- the corresponding enrollment data record is identified as a potentially duplicate enrollment data record that corresponds to a potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data record.
- the EPC system 12 determines 34 whether or not any of the potentially duplicate enrollment data records stored therein is a true duplicate enrollment data record. When the EPC system 12 determines 34 that potentially duplicate enrollment data records stored therein are not true duplicate enrollment data records, processing continues by determining whether another program participant is to enroll 30 in the BDCC system 14 .
- the EPC system 12 determines 34 that a plurality of potentially duplicate enrollment data records stored therein are true duplicate enrollment data records, the EPC system 12 executes an appropriate one of the existing business processes, services or tools to determine one of the true duplicate enrollment data records to retain. Moreover, the EPC system 12 executes an appropriate one of the existing business processes, services or tools to, if necessary, update information in the true duplicate enrollment data record to be retained, and then deletes the other true duplicate enrollment data records that are not to be retained. It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, any business process may be used to detect and resolve potentially duplicate enrollment data records that facilitates simplifying integration of the EPC system 12 and the BDCC system 14 as described herein.
- unique identifiers provided by the BDCC system 14 are used by the EPC system 12 to facilitate determining true duplicate enrollment data records in the exemplary embodiment, it should be appreciated that in other embodiments the existing business processes, services and tools included in the EPC system 12 may utilize the unique identifiers as well as any additional data stored in the BDCC system 14 that facilitates the EPC system 12 to determine true duplicate enrollment data records as described herein. Moreover, it should be appreciated that in the exemplary embodiment the EPC system 12 is able to utilize the unique identifiers and additional data from the BDCC system 14 to determine true duplicate enrollment data records stored in the EPC system 12 without being modified.
- the EPC system 12 After updating the enrollment data records stored in the EPC system 12 , the EPC system 12 communicates the unique identifiers of the deleted true duplicate enrollment data records to the BDCC system 14 . Specifically, the EPC system 12 prints 36 a hardcopy report listing the unique identifiers of the deleted true duplicate enrollment data records, and the operator of the EPC system 12 provides the hardcopy report to the operator of the BDCC system 14 . The BDCC system operator then manually inputs the unique identifiers listed in the hardcopy report into the BDCC system 14 , such that the BDCC system 14 is able to delete biometric enrollment data records from the BDCC system 14 associated with the unique identifiers listed in the hardcopy report.
- the BDCC system 14 deletes 36 true duplicate biometric enrollment data records from the BDCC system 14 that correspond to the true duplicate enrollment data records deleted from the EPC system 12 .
- synchronization between the biometric enrollment data records stored in the BDCC system 14 and the enrollment data records stored in the EPC system 12 is facilitated to be enhanced.
- the method continues by determining 38 whether or not the program participant is enrolled in the EPC system 12 .
- the program participant enrolls 22 in the EPC system 12 . Otherwise, the program participant enrolls 24 in the BDCC system 14 .
- the method ends 40 .
- requiring enrollment in the at least one program managed by the EPC system 12 before enrolling new biometric enrollment data records in the BDCC system 14 and requiring storage of the new corresponding biometric enrollment data records in the BDCC system 14 prior to checking for potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records, facilitates simply maintaining synchronization between the enrollment data records stored in the EPC system 12 and the biometric enrollment data records stored in the BDCC system 14 with minimal integration effort.
- storing the new biometric enrollment data records before checking for potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records greatly reduces the number and types of communications required between the EPC system 12 and the BDCC system 14 via the system interface 16 .
- the BDCC system 14 may determine that unique identifiers 3 A, 4 A and 5 A are associated with potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records. Thus, the BDCC system 14 prints the unique identifiers in a hardcopy report such that the hardcopy report may be provided to the operator of the EPC system 12 .
- the operator of the EPC system 12 enters the unique identifiers 3 A, 4 A, 5 A, listed in the hardcopy report, into the EPC system 12 such that the EPC system 12 is able to determine that the enrollment data records associated with the unique identifiers 3 A and 4 A are true duplicate enrollment data records, but that the enrollment data record associated with unique identifier 5 A is not a true duplicate enrollment data record.
- the EPC system 12 determines to retain the unique identifier 3 A and the enrollment data record associated with the unique identifier 3 A, and, if necessary, updates the enrollment data record associated with the unique identifier 3 A.
- the true duplicate enrollment data record associated with the unique identifier 4 A is then deleted from the EPC system 12 .
- the EPC system 12 After deleting the true duplicate enrollment data record associated with identity number 4 A, the EPC system 12 prints a hardcopy report indicating that the unique identifier 4 A is associated with a true duplicate enrollment data record.
- the operator of the EPC system 12 provides the hardcopy report to the operator of the BDCC system 14 .
- the BDCC system operator enters the unique identifier 4 A into the BDCC system 14 such that the BDCC system 14 deletes the biometric enrollment data record associated with the unique identifier 4 A.
- the BDCC system 14 deletes a true duplicate biometric enrollment data record from the BDCC system 14 corresponding to the true duplicate enrollment data record deleted from the EPC system 12 .
- synchronization between the biometric enrollment data records stored in the BDCC system 14 and the enrollment data records stored in the EPC system 12 is facilitated to be enhanced.
- system interface 16 is implemented manually in the exemplary embodiment, it should be appreciated that in other embodiments the system interface 16 may be implemented in any manner that facilitates simply and quickly integrating the EPC system 12 with the BDCC system 14 .
- the system interface 16 may be implemented automatically by assigning a different bar code for each unique identifier of each enrolling program participant, such that enrolling program participants use the bar code to automatically enter the unique identifiers into the BDCC system 14 .
- Using a bar code to enter the unique identifier may facilitate reducing typographical errors that may occur when entering unique identifiers, and may facilitate reducing creation of duplicate enrollment data records due to typographical errors.
- FIG. 3 is substantially the same information shown in FIG. 2 , but implements the system interface 16 automatically instead of manually. As such, information illustrated in FIG. 3 and described herein with regard to FIG. 3 , that is substantially identical to information shown in FIG. 2 , is not included in the description of the alternative exemplary method detailed below.

- the BDCC system 14 obtains the unique identifier of the enrolling program participant from the EPC system 12 .
- the BDCC system 14 also obtains the demographic data of the enrolling program participant, associated with the unique identifier of the enrolling program participant stored in the EPC system 12 , and associates the demographic data of the enrolling program participant with the obtained unique identifier in the BDCC system 14 . It should be understood that each enrolling program participant is required to enroll in the EPC system 12 before enrolling in the BDCC system 14 . Although this alternative embodiment is described as obtaining demographic data of program participants, it should be appreciated that in other embodiments demographic data of the program participants may not be obtained. It should be appreciated that by automatically entering the unique identifiers into the BDCC system 14 , typographical errors made by enrolling program participants are facilitated to be reduced. Moreover, it should be appreciated that duplicate enrollment data records created as a result of such typographical errors are also facilitated to be reduced.
- the BDCC system 14 also captures the desired biometric data from the enrolling program participant and stores the captured biometric data, and the corresponding unique identifier and associated demographic data, in the BDCC system 14 such that the captured biometric data, and the corresponding unique identifier and associated demographic data are associated with each other. It should be understood that the captured biometric data, and corresponding unique identifier and associated demographic data are stored in the BDCC system 14 as a biometric enrollment data record. It should be appreciated that because the captured biometric data facilitates identifying individuals, the captured biometric data may also be known as identity data, and the biometric enrollment data record may be known as an identity enrollment data record.
- the BDCC system 14 automatically checks 48 to determine whether or not potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records exist therein.
- the check 48 determines that potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records do not exist in the BDCC system 14
- the BDCC system 14 positions 50 a message in a potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data check results queue that reads “no duplicates detected,” and the method continues by determining whether another program participant is to enroll 30 in the BDCC system 12 .
- the message reads “no duplicates detected” in this alternative embodiment, it should be appreciated that in other embodiments, any message indicating that potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records have not been detected may be placed in the potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data check results queue.
- the BDCC system 14 facilitates communicating the unique identifiers associated with the potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records to the EPC system 12 . Specifically, the BDCC system 14 positions 52 the unique identifiers associated with the potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data records, in the potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data check results queue for use by the EPC system 12 . It should be appreciated that the potentially duplicate biometric enrollment data check results queue can be a database queue or a message queue maintained in the BDCC system 14 .
